The 99-year-old revealed during a Q&A with his wife, Arlene Van Dyke, at the Dick & Arlene Van Dyke Vandy Camp event over the weekend, that he and the late Ed Asner had been planning a remake of the classic comedy The Odd Couple before Asner's death in 2021 at the age of 91.
Despite this, Dick remains upbeat, sharing that his secret to staying positive is simple: “Well, life’s been good to me. I can’t complain.” The actor will turn 100 on December 13.
The Odd Couple, which first premiered as a Broadway play in 1965, has been an iconic part of entertainment history. The story of Felix and Oscar, two polar opposites living together, was adapted into a movie in 1968, starring Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau, and later into a popular TV series in 1970.
Van Dyke’s last birthday, however, was marked by a dramatic escape from a life-threatening situation. Last December, he found himself caught in the middle of a devastating Southern California wildfire that ravaged the Malibu area. The fires, which broke out on December 9, came close to he and Arlene's home, and in shocking footage from his front porch camera shown on the TODAY show, Van Dyke was seen being carried away from his home.
